I think everybody is interested in the actual state of

• 20.04 development-process:
  How far is this process ongoing? Are there any bigger problems? Is there an approximate timetable for the release?

• VoLTE:

I don't understand why people want to change from iOS/Android to UT but on the other hand still want to use all their services. In my opinion one effort of UT is, that you don't have to use accounts and services from these big companies and still have a functional and free phone in your hand.

I've upgraded my Volla from 16.04 to 20.04 with the installer. Here are my observations:

• Upgrade was easy and there were no problems with installing.
• With the first boot, the introduction/first start screen (Welcome to 20.04...) came up.
• My first SIM-card is PIN-protected and the system doesn't ask for the PIN automatically anymore. Now I have to unlock the card manually from the indicators. The second card (without PIN) works fine. The System is asking for the PIN-Code automatically.
• GPS is working with uNav.
• Calls (in/out) are working.
• WIFI is working.
• Cellular data is working (but only with SIM1).
• Flashlight is working. You can use the flashlight now with the app "uTorch", too.
• Automatic screen dimming is working.
• Camera is working (photo and video).
• Hotspot can be activated, but the device which wants to use the hotspot doesn't get an IP-address. Hotspot is working.
• Shutdown/Reboot from the indicator is working.
• Updates through WIFI are working.
• Battery-life seems to be like under Xenial.
• OSD (e.g. volume up/down) is working.
• Fingerprint is working.

I'll update this post if I realize any changes.

Update 26.12.2022: I've switched the phone to the 20.04 RC-channel and resetted the device using the "Erase & Reset All"-Option under system-settings.
Update 05.01.2023: I've switched to devel-channel.
Update 29.03.2023: I've made a fresh install of 20.04 stable OTA-1 via the installer with "wipe"-option
Update 01.08.2023: Update to OTA-2 via System-Settings

Is somebody able to tell about the status of "First steps in VoLTE"?
Is this project started, in which phase are we now, actual problems/showstopper, forecast?
I think this may help to clarify where UT stands in case of VoLTE.

Thanks

@domubpkm Work has started to open the door for you

@naizena When flashing my Volla with the installer it sometimes was so that the installer didn't restart my phone to fastboot-mode. It also said "flashing firmware partitions using fastboot" but I think it was still waiting for the phone to enter fastboot-mode.
When I restart my phone and select fastboot manually then the installer instantly started flashing. The whole process of flashing my device (with downloading files) takes around 5 minutes.
You can enter fastboot-mode by press and hold the power-button and volume-lower-button. Then there comes a little menu-selection where you can choose fastboot

How is the development of the "Bluez Upgrade" going on? On the Github project-page there's no status change. It would be nice if I can use the handsfree in my (new) car again.

Maybe you can test if it depends on your media files or something else. It seems that there is an option to prevent mediascanner from scanning separate folders by creating a file named ".nomedia" in the folder you want to prevent from scanning. I think you have not so many folders containing media on your phone so it would be easy to test.
After that please delete the DB and reboot the phone. I would expect that the DB-file will be rebuild but the mediaplayer will not know/detect any media on your device. If there's no double boot too you have found the problem. If not the search goes on

Today Dekko2 is officially available for Focal in the Openstore and for me it's working like expected

@Flohack I think you had the right idea. The last couple of days I closed all opened apps before shutting down the device and there was no crash/restart of lomiri. So it could be that the issue is depending on the lower amount of ram. I will observe this behaviour. Thanks.

@gpatel-fr For me it's the same like @gandalf said: There is no ringtone while dialing for every call I'm making. No matter if it's the same carrier, an other carrier or a fixed number. Even calling service numbers from my provider doesn't produce a ringtone.

@Linus67 Freut mich, dass es geklappt hat

@Linus67 So wie du es beschreibst, ist alles korrekt. Bei meinen Autos war es immer so, dass ich am Radio den Verbindungsaufbau vorbereitet habe (BT wird auf sichtbar geschaltet) und dann das sichtbare Gerät auf dem Handy gekoppelt habe. Ich bin mir gerade nicht sicher, ob dabei auch ein Code abgefragt wurde.
Das Prozedere scheint aber bei deinem Radio nicht zu funktionieren. Ich kann es gleich nochmal bei meinem Auto ausprobieren. Welchen Softwarestand hast du denn auf dem Pixel? Kannst du andere Bluetooth-Geräte (Kopfhörer, Lautsprecher) koppeln und benutzen?

PS: Ich hab mein Handy jetzt nochmal mit meinem Auto (Golf 8 ) gekoppelt. Bei mir wird während des Koppeln sowohl auf dem Handy als auch auf dem Radio ein Code angezeigt der von beiden Seiten bestätigt werden muss. Danach kennen die beiden sich und ich kann Musik abspielen.

@Linus67 Hast du es mal andersherum versucht, sprich vom Handy aus die Verbindung aufbauen? Hat bei mir eigentlich bei meinen ganzen VAG-Radios der letzten Jahre immer funktioniert. Erwarte dir nur nicht zu viel von der Verbindung, bei mir reicht es bestenfalls zum Musik hören, an Telefonie ist nicht wirklich zu denken.

@lduboeuf First there was the alert-message (I don't know which message-id was used right now) and after 30 minutes there was there clear-message for this alert which says, that the alert is over.
I only received the second message (clear) but not the first one (alert). Is there an option to get the subscribed message-ids? The above mentioned test-cbs-script doesn't work for me.

Today there was a test of CBS in several regions in Germany. @dosolly Do you live in one of those areas (I think it was in NRW, RLP and HE) and have received CBS-messages?
@lduboeuf On my Volla22/GS5 (24.04-1.2 stable) I only received the clear-signal but not the alert-message itself. I've selected all alarms in the system-settings. My old Nokia which was next my UT-Phone received the alert with the same provider without a problem. Can it be that the CBS-message-ID which was used for the test-alert is not registered in our CBS-settings? I tried to get the registered message-IDs via the "test-cbs-script", but it returned an error

Maybe do you mean this ZIP-File

under system-image.ubports.com there are some images for this device.

@peat_psuwit Actually I'm using a Volla (yggdrasil) and Volla22 (mimameid). I know it's hard to get all the combinations of phone/software/car to work, but I always have a smile on my face when I'm using one of my old Nokia (yes I'm still using them), which are now around 15-20 years, running S30+, S40 and S60, and they simply connect to every car I had and work flawless (telephony, addressbook and media/music).
